While coping with a loss, writer Emily Gogolak returns to the Panhandle to repay a stranger who helped her while stranded on the side of the road.
“That memory is a stand-in for everything I miss about Texas—the openness of its plains, the enormity of its sky, the quiet kindness of its strangers. I decide to move back.”
